BACKGROUND 1. Field

The present disclosure relates to a display device and, more particularly, to a display device with a transistor comprising an oxide semiconductor layer with various element concentrations.

2. Description of Related Art

With the continuous advancement of technologies related to displays, all the display panels are now developed toward compactness, thinness, and lightness. This trend makes thin displays, such as liquid crystal display panels, organic light-emitting diode display panels and inorganic light-emitting diode display panels, replacing cathode-ray-tube displays as the mainstream display devices on the market. Applications of thin displays are numerous. Most electronic products for daily use, such as mobile phones, notebook computers, video cameras, still cameras, music displays, mobile navigators, and TV sets, employ such display panels.

While liquid crystal display devices and organic light-emitting diode display devices are popular on the market, in which LCD display devices particularly enjoy technical maturity, manufacturers pay even more effort to improve display devices in terms of display quality thereby answering to ongoing technical development of display devices and consumers' increasing demands.

The thin film transistor (TFT) structure can be polycrystalline silicon thin film transistors (TFT) featuring high carrier mobility, or metal oxide thin film transistors (TFT) featuring low leakage. There are presently no displays combining these two types of transistors because the manufacturing processes for making the two are not quite compatible, making the overall manufacturing of such display devices complicated (such as by requiring more times of chemical vapor deposition).

In view of this, a need exists for an improved and simplified process for manufacturing a thin film transistor (TFT) substrate that has both a polycrystalline silicon thin film transistor (TFT) and a metal oxide thin film transistor (TFT).

In one aspect of the present disclosure, the display device comprises: a first substrate; a first transistor disposed over the first substrate, wherein the first transistor comprises an oxide semiconductor layer, and a second transistor disposed over the first substrate, wherein the second transistor comprises a silicon semiconductor layer, wherein the oxide semiconductor layer comprises indium, gallium, and oxygen; and a ratio of an atomic percentage of oxygen to a sum of atomic percentages of indium and gallium in the oxide semiconductor layer is greater than or equal to 1 and less than or equal to 3.

In another aspect of the present disclosure, the display device comprises: a first substrate; and a first transistor disposed over the first substrate, wherein the first transistor comprises an oxide semiconductor layer, wherein the oxide semiconductor layer comprises indium, gallium, zinc, and oxygen; a ratio of an atomic percentage of oxygen to a sum of atomic percentages of indium and gallium in the oxide semiconductor layer is greater than or equal to 1 and less than or equal to 3; and a ratio of a sum of atomic percentages of indium and gallium to an atomic percentage of zinc in the oxide semiconductor layer is greater than or equal to 1 and less than or equal to 3.

In the display device of the two above aspects, the atomic percentages of elements in the oxide semiconductor layer of the first transistor are adjusted. More specifically, the ratio of the atomic percentage of oxygen to the sum of the atomic percentages of indium and gallium in the oxide semiconductor layer is greater than or equal to 1 and less than or equal to 3, i.e. 1≤O/(In+Ga)≤3.

When the atomic percentages in the oxide semiconductor layer are within the above range, the first transistor comprising the oxide semiconductor layer has the improved electrical performance and reliability.

Herein, the display device of the present embodiment comprises: a first substrate 1; a LTPS thin film transistor (i.e. a second transistor) disposed over the first substrate 1; two IGZO thin film transistor (i.e. first transistors) disposed over the first substrate 1. Herein, the LTPS thin film transistor comprises: a silicon semiconductor layer 13 a comprising a source area 131, a channel area 132 and a drain area 133; a gate electrode 151 correspondingly disposed on the first semiconductor layer 13 a; a source electrode 171 and a drain electrode 172 disposed on the gate electrode 151 and respectively electrically connected to the source area 131 and the drain area 133 of the first semiconductor layer 13 a. One of the IGZO thin film transistor comprises: an oxide semiconductor layer 191; and a first source electrode 201 and a first drain electrode 202 disposed on the oxide semiconductor layer 191, wherein the drain electrode 172 of the LTPS thin film transistor is also used as the gate electrode of the IGZO thin film transistor. The other one of the IGZO thin film transistor comprises: a first gate electrode 152 disposed over the first substrate 1; another oxide semiconductor layer 192 correspondingly disposed on the first gate electrode 152; another first source electrode 202″ and another first drain electrode 203 disposed on the oxide semiconductor layer 192. In addition, the display device of the present embodiment further comprises a display medium layer (i.e. the organic light-emitting diode unit, including the first display electrode 23, the organic light-emitting layer 25 and the second display electrode 26) disposed on the first substrate 1. In the present embodiment and other embodiments of the present disclosure, the LTPS thin film transistor shown in FIG. 4 can be comprised in the pixel unit 15 or in the driver circuit 14 and the demultiplexer 13 shown in FIG. 2.

As shown in FIG. 4, the oxide semiconductor layers 191, 192 have a double layered structure. The manufacturing process of the IGZO TFT with the double layered structure is briefly described blow.

FIG. 5 is a schematic cross sectional view of a transistor of the present disclosure, which is an IGZO thin film transistor (TFT). First, a first substrate 1 is provided, followed by forming a first buffer layer 41 and a second buffer layer 42 on the first substrate 1. Herein, the material for the first substrate 1 is illustrated above and not repeated again. And, the first buffer layer 41 and the second buffer layer 42 can be prepared by any insulating material such as silicon oxide, silicon nitride, silicon nitroxide or a combination thereof. Next, a gate electrode 43 is formed on the second buffer layer 42, followed by forming a gate insulating layer 44 on the gate electrode 43. Then, an oxide semiconductor layer 45 is formed on the gate insulating layer 44, followed by forming a first source electrode 46 and a first drain electrode 47 on the oxide semiconductor layer 45. Finally, a passivation layer 48 is formed on the first source electrode 46 and the first drain electrode 47, and the IGZO TFT of the present embodiment is obtained. Herein, the gate electrode 43, the first source electrode 46 and the first drain electrode 47 can be prepared by metals (such as Cu, Al, Ti, Cr, Mo, or alloy thereof) or other electrode materials (such as transparent conductive oxide, for example, ITO, IZO, ITZO and so on); but the present disclosure is not limited. In addition, the gate insulating layer 44 and the passivation layer 48 can be prepared by silicon oxide.

Hence, after the aforementioned process, the display device of the present embodiment is obtained, which comprises: a first substrate 1; and a first transistor disposed over the first substrate 1, wherein the first transistor comprises an oxide semiconductor layer 45.

In the present embodiment, the oxide semiconductor layer 45 comprises indium, gallium, zinc, and oxygen. The electrical performance of an IGZO TFT is related to the oxygen concentration of the metal oxide layer, as when the oxygen concentration of the metal oxide layer is high, the conductivity of the metal oxide layer is close to a conductivity of an insulator. On the contrary, when the oxygen concentration of the metal oxide layer is low, the conductivity of the metal oxide layer is close to a conductivity of a conductor. Herein, a ratio of an atomic percentage of oxygen to a sum of atomic percentages of indium and gallium in the oxide semiconductor layer 45 is greater than or equal to 1 and less than or equal to 3, i.e. 1≤O/(In+Ga)≤3. When the oxygen concentration of the IGZO layer is in the above ratio, the IGZO TFT has better electrical characteristics. Additionally, a ratio of a sum of atomic percentages of indium and gallium to an atomic percentage of zinc in the oxide semiconductor layer 45 (especially, in the first region 451) is greater than or equal to 1 and less than or equal to 3, i.e. 1≤(In+Ga)/Zn≤3. When ratio of the concentration of indium, gallium and zinc is in the above range, the IGZO TFT has better voltage stress and current stress performance. Therefore, the IGZO TFT has good reliability.

In addition, the oxide semiconductor layer 45 has a first region 451 and a second region 452, and the first region 451 is between the second region 452 and the first substrate 1. Herein, the first region 451 and the second region 452 can be prepared by using two targets with identical components but different atomic concentrations; or prepared by introducing compositions with identical components but different atomic ratios. However, the present disclosure is not limited to.

In the present embodiment, the first region 451 and the second region 452 are two different layers made of IGZO material with identical components but different atomic concentrations. In another embodiment, the first region 451 and the second region 452 can be two region in the same layer made of IGZO. In the TFT operation period, the current flow occurs in the first region 451, hence the first region 451 suffers voltage stress and current stress, resulting in threshold voltage shift after a period of operation. When IGZO layer has higher indium concentration and higher zinc concentration in the first region 451, the IGZO TFT has higher current and better stability. Besides, the second region 452 is damaged during the etching process for forming the source electrode and drain electrode. When IGZO layer has higher gallium concentration in the second region 452, it provides additional protection for the IGZO layer from damage by following etching process. Therefore the first region 451 is a zinc-rich and indium-rich region, and the second region 452 is a gallium-rich region. More specifically, a concentration of indium in the first region 451 is greater than a concentration of indium in the second region 452; a concentration of zinc in the first region 451 is greater than a concentration of zinc in the second region 452; and a concentration of gallium in the first region 451 is less than a concentration of gallium in the second region 452. When the oxide semiconductor layer 45 comprises the above first region 451 and the above second region 452, the obtained IGZO thin film transistor can have improved electrical performance or reliability.

Particularly, the first region 451 of the oxide semiconductor layer 45 forms the TFT carrier channel. If the first region 451 is the zinc-rich and indium-rich region, the mobility of the semiconducting carrier in IGZO TFT channel can be increased.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 5, the first transistor further comprises: a first gate electrode 43 disposed below the oxide semiconductor layer 45; and a first source electrode 46 and a first drain electrode 47 disposed on the oxide semiconductor layer 45, wherein the first source electrode 46 and the first drain electrode 47 contact the second region 452. Hence, in the present embodiment, the IGZO TFT of the present embodiment is a bottom gate structured IGZO TFT.

In the process for prepared the bottom gate structured IGZO TFT, the first source electrode 46 and the first drain electrode 47 are formed via a dry-etching process or other processes after forming the oxide semiconductor layer 45. Hence, the topmost layer of the oxide semiconductor layer 45 (i.e. the second region 452) may be deteriorated due to the sequential dry-etching process or other processes for forming the first source electrode 46 and the first drain electrode 47. Since gallium in IGZO forms a strong chemical bond with oxygen ions, the formed strong chemical bond can stabilize amorphous state of the IGZO material and reduce the formation of oxygen deficiencies. Hence, in the display device of the present embodiment, the second region 452 is designed to be a gallium-rich region to increase the process durability and electrical stability thereof.

Furthermore, when the second region 452 is a gallium-rich region, the current leakage of the IGZO TFT can be reduced, and good ohmic contact between the second region 452 and the first source electrode 46/the first drain electrode 47 can be achieved. In addition, because the zinc and indium concentrations in the second region 452 are reduced, the current leakage and oxygen deficiencies occurred in the IGZO TFT can also be decreased.

As shown in FIG. 5, the first source electrode 46 and the first drain electrode 47 contact the second region 452. Herein, the metal of the first source electrode 46 and the first drain electrode 47 can be Mo, Ti or other transparence conductive oxides. When the metal with high oxygen affinity (such as Ti) is used as a bottom layer of the first source electrode 46 and the first drain electrode 47 which directly contacts the second region 452, the formation of oxygen deficiencies in IGZO (oxide semiconductor layer 45) can be reduced by using the gallium-rich layer as the second region 452.

Moreover, as described above, both the transistor comprising a silicon semiconductor layer (for example, LTPS TFT) and the transistor comprising an oxide semiconductor layer (for example, IGZO TFT) are comprised in the display device of the present embodiment. The mobility of the LTPS TFT is approximately ten times of the mobility of the IGZO TFT. When the oxide semiconductor layer 45 of the IGZO TFT has the above two layered structure, not only the low current leakage property of the IGZO TFT can be maintained, but also the mobility of the IGZO TFT can further be improved. Therefore, the mobility of the IGZO TFT can more match with the mobility of the LTPS TFT.

As shown in FIG. 5, the display device of the present embodiment further comprises: a gate insulating layer 44 disposed below the oxide semiconductor layer 45; and a passivation layer 48 disposed on the oxide semiconductor layer 45. Even though the gate insulating layer 44 and the passivation layer 48 are prepared by silicon oxide, the oxygen concentrations of the silicon oxide in the gate insulating layer 44 and the passivation layer 48 are different. In the display device of the present embodiment, the first region 451 of the oxide semiconductor layer 45 forms the TFT carrier channel. If the oxygen concentration of the silicon oxide in the gate insulating layer 44 is too high, the insulating property of the gate insulating layer 44 will be decreased. Hence, in the display device of the present embodiment, the oxygen concentration of the silicon oxide in the gate insulating layer 44 is lower than the oxygen concentration of the silicon oxide in the passivation layer 48.

Test Example

The display device obtained in the aforementioned embodiment is examined with TEM-EDX equipment; and the IGZO composition of the oxide semiconductor layer is analyzed via a line scan analysis mode. The analysis results are shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, wherein FIG. 6 is an analysis result of the channel region of the oxide semiconductor layer along the line L1-L1′ indicated in FIG. 5, and FIG. 7 is an analysis result of the source and drain contact area of the oxide semiconductor layer along the line L2-L2′ indicated in FIG. 5. The term “GP” in FIGS. 6 and 7 refers to the gate insulating layer; the term “PA” therein refers to the passivation layer; and the term “S/D” therein refers to the first source/drain electrode.

For the TEM-EDX analytical method, the TFT is cut to form a slit, and a cross-sectional image of the TFT is obtained. Next, the scanning step of the TEM-EDX is commenced, specifically the scanning of the line L1-L1′ and the line L2-L2′ are started. The scanning line of L1-L1′ is made at the middle of the channel area of the TFT, to scan the atomic concentration of the semiconductor layer in the TFT. To further understand the relation of the semiconductor layer and its surrounding interface of insulating layers, the line L1-L1′ is scanned starting at the gate insulating layer, into the first region and the second region of the semiconductor layer, and ends at the passivation layer. While the line L2-L2′ is scanned to further understand the interface interaction of the semiconductor and the contacting source/drain electrodes, so the line L2-L2′ is made at one of the source/drain electrode ends of the TFT. The line L2-L2′ starts at the gate insulating layer, into the first region and the second region of the semiconductor layer, and further into the metal layer of the source/drain electrode, before it ends at the passivation layer.

The atomic percentages (at. %) of the elements comprised in the channel region of the oxide semiconductor layer are listed in the following Table 1. It should be noted that the values shown in the table are the average values of the atomic percentages of the elements measured at the middle-thickness portion of the layers. The material analysis can't get exact concentration of each element. As shown in Table 1, the measured atomic percentage of indium, gallium and zinc are 16.34%, 19.22% and 17.28% in the first region. However, as shown in FIG. 6, the error of atomic percentage measurement of indium, gallium and zinc are plus or minus 1.1%, 1.6% and 0.5%, respectively, in the first region. As shown in Table 1, the measured atomic percentage of indium, gallium and zinc are 13.36%, 25.86% and 10.62% in the second region. However, as shown in FIG. 6, the error of atomic percentage measurement of indium, gallium and zinc are plus or minus 2.96%, 2.16% and 1.82%, respectively, in the second region. Similarly, the error of atomic percentage measurement of silicon in the gate insulating layer, the first region of IGZO, the second region of IGZO and the passivation are plus or minus 1.8%, 0.5%, 1.14% and 3% respectively. As shown in FIG. 6 and the following Table 1, at the channel region of the oxide semiconductor layer, the second region of the

TABLE 1 Indium Gallium Zinc Silicon Layer (at. %) (at. %) (at. %) (at. %) Gate Insulating Layer — — — 42.36 IGZO, First region 16.34 19.22 17.28 0.50 IGZO, Second region 13.36 25.86 10.62 2.03 Passivation layer — — — 37.24

In addition, as shown in FIG. 7, at the source and drain contact area of the oxide semiconductor layer, the second region of the oxide semiconductor layer is also gallium rich. Herein, the first source/drain electrodes are made of Ti. Since gallium in IGZO forms a strong chemical bond with oxygen ions, the formed strong chemical bond can stabilize amorphous state of the IGZO material and reduce the formation of oxygen deficiencies. Hence, the diffusion of Ti to the second region can be reduced. If the second region of the oxide semiconductor layer is not gallium rich, TiO₂ may be formed by the diffused Ti and the oxygen in IGZO. The formed TiO₂ is an insulator, resulting in the ohmic contact between the IGZO and the first source/drain electrodes decreased. Therefore, when the second region of the oxide semiconductor layer is gallium rich, the Ti diffusion and oxygen deficiencies in the second region can be reduced.
